Presenters Matt Bishop and Richard Williams, author of The Death of Ayrton Senna, delve into how F1 had evolved culturally and in terms of safety by 1994. They discuss the changing attitudes towards injury and death, while also considering the potential complacency within the sport. Through anecdotes and insights, they focus on the unique circumstances of 1994, exploring the impact of rule changes, suspicion, and bad luck on Senna’s state of mind leading up to the race at Imola.
